Application filed September as, 1925.

The invention relates to fountain paint brushes, and has for its objectto provide a device'of this character comprising an elongated handlemember, preferably cylindrically shaped, and provided with alongitudinally disposed partition thereby forming paint receptacleswithin the handle in which different colored paint may be placed.

A further object is to provide a sleeve threaded on one end of thehandle member and having a painting element, for instance a sponge 1none end thereof and a rotatable disc within the sleeve in engagementwith the end of the handle, and with an annular flange within the sleeveand an aperture in said disc adapted to register with either chamber inthe handle member for supply ing either colored paint to the sponge. Thedevice is particularly adapted for use in lettering and sign painting,however applicable to general use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in thecombination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown inthe drawing, described and claimed, it being understood that changes inthe precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope ofwhat is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawing.:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the fountain paint brush.

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the paintbrush.

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinalsectional view through the paintbrushtaken at a right angle to Figure 2.

Figure 4c is a horizontal sectional view taken on line lt of Figure 2, i

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates an elongatedcylindrical handle member which is preferably tapered and 2 alongitudinally disposed partition within the handle member and extendingthe full length thereof, and which partition divides the handle memberinto independent compartments 3. Threaded on one end of the handlemembers is a cap 4, which when removed allows different colored paintsto be placed in the compartments 3, and when in position as shown inFigure 2, engages the end of the partition 2 at 5 thereby prevent ingthe paint in one compartment to mix with the other during themanipulation of the device. Threaded on the other end of Serial No.58,787.

the handle member at 6 is a sleeve 7, which sleeve is provided with anannular flange 8 therein, intermediate its ends, and interposed betweenthe flange 8, the adjacent end of the handle member 1, and the adjacentend of the partition 2 is a rotatable disc 9. disc 9 is provided with anaperture 10, which is adapted to register with either of thecompartments 3 according to the color of the paint desired for use. Itwill be noted that the disc 9, after being properly adjusted may be heldin tight binding engagement with the end of the partition 2 and thehandle 2, so that it will not easily move,

The I ing of color of paint supplied to the sponge 11 during a paintingoperation. Extending outwardly from the disc 9 through a slot 12 in thesleeve 7 is a lug 13, adapted to be grasped by the operator for rotatingthe disc 9 to a position where its aperture 10 will register with eitherof the compart- 'ments 3, when it is desired to change the color of thepaint. By providing a sponge 11, it is obvious the sponge may be easilyand quickly changed when changing the color of paint.

From the above it will be seen that a fountain paint brush is providedwhich is simple in construction, provided with means whereby a pluralityof different colors of paint may be used when desired, and one which isparticularly adapted for sign painting art, and applicable for generaluse. It will also be seen the parts are reduced to a minimum and bytightening the sleeve 7, the disc 9 will be securely held againstdisplacement and said disc 9 and cap a prevent paint from one of thecompartments 3 from mixing with paint in one of the other compartments3.

The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and usefulis 1. A fountain paint brush comprisingan elongated handle member, apartition extending longitudinally through the casing thereby formingindependent compartments for'the receptionof different colored paint, acap threaded on one end of the casing and engaging the end of thepartition thereby forming a olosurefor the ends of the compartments,- asleeve threaded on the other end of the casing, an annular flange withinthe sleeve spaced from its ends, an apertured disc interposed.betweenthe end of the easing and the annular the end of the casing andthe end of the artition a lu carried b said disc and eX Within thesleeve and held in engagement With the end ofthe handle member by thesleeve and adapted to have its aperture placed in registration Witheither of the compartments of the handle member and a cap threaded onthe other end of the handle member.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.
